Question 1 • Algebra II

Which equation has a graph that is a parabola with a vertex at open paren negative 2 comma 0 close paren ?

Answer
A
y is equal to x squared minus 2
B
y is equal to negative 2 x squared
C
y is equal to open paren x plus 2 close paren squared
D
y is equal to open paren x minus 2 close paren squared

Explanation

A parabola in vertex form is y = (x − h)² + k, with vertex (h, k). For a vertex at (−2, 0), the equation is y = (x − (−2))² + 0 = (x + 2)². So the correct choice is y = (x + 2)².
